iPad virtual keyboard text entry: Way to type multiple capital letters without having to press SHIFT before each letter?

Question

Let's say I'm typing a word in ALL-CAPS on the iPad. Currently, the only way I know of how to do this is to press SHIFT before each of the letters.

Is there an alternative, like a sticky shift or Caps Lock function, where I can just go into a caps mode, type the letters I want as all caps, and then go back to normal text entry? I've tried keeping my finger on the shift key as well while I type, but that doesn't work as expected.

Answer 1

Tap the Settings app. and click on the General *menu* > the Keyboard. Then turn "Enable Caps Lock" on.

Now just double-tap the shift key to enable caps lock once using the keyboard.

you can see with image tutorial here.

Answer 2

Holding shift ought to work, also. Perhaps that relies on the caps lock option, but it works for me.
